@ckeditor/ckeditor5-mention

What is @ckeditor/ckeditor5-mention?

@ckeditor/ckeditor5-mention is a plugin for CKEditor 5 that allows you to implement mention functionality in your editor. This feature is commonly used to mention users, tags, or other entities within the text, similar to how mentions work on social media platforms.

What are @ckeditor/ckeditor5-mention's main functionalities?

Basic Mention

This feature allows you to add basic mention functionality to your CKEditor instance. The example code initializes the editor with a mention feed that triggers when the '@' character is typed, suggesting names like '@Anna', '@Thomas', and '@John'.

ClassicEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), { mention: { feeds: [ { marker: '@', feed: ['@Anna', '@Thomas', '@John'], minimumCharacters: 1 } ] } })

Custom Mention Feed

This feature allows you to use a custom function to provide the mention feed. The example code uses a promise to simulate an asynchronous feed that filters the mention suggestions based on the query.

ClassicEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), { mention: { feeds: [ { marker: '@', feed: (query) => { return new Promise(resolve => { setTimeout(() => { resolve(['@Anna', '@Thomas', '@John'].filter(item => item.includes(query))); }, 100); }); }, minimumCharacters: 1 } ] } })

Multiple Markers

This feature allows you to use multiple markers for different types of mentions. The example code initializes the editor with two mention feeds: one for '@' mentions and another for '#' tags.

ClassicEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), { mention: { feeds: [ { marker: '@', feed: ['@Anna', '@Thomas', '@John'], minimumCharacters: 1 }, { marker: '#', feed: ['#Tag1', '#Tag2', '#Tag3'], minimumCharacters: 1 } ] } })
